This arrangement
for young string players and optional ship's bell portrays an
imaginary voyage, which includes "gummery bread," a
"rubagub tree," and "Binnacle-bats" wearing
"waterproof hats." All instruments stay in first position
and only violin 1 uses the "low second finger." The
homophonic texture and straightforward rhythms and harmonies let
students focus on style and musicianship. Students will also develop
various articulations (staccato, accent, pizzicato) and
watching skills (fermata, ritardando, tempo changes, and a caesura).
Excellent writing by an excellent teacher!
